Additional titles from Ubisoft will also be in the store.

The game will also be available through Ubisoft, but it will not be released on Steam.

Additionally, it has been announced that Ubisoft and Epic will release "additional select titles" over the next year, and that any pre orders of The Division 2 from other online stores would not be affected by the recent decision.

"We aim to provide the most publisher-friendly store," Tim Sweeney, founder and CEO of Epic said. "Providing direct access to customers and an 88% revenue split, enabling game creators to further re-invest in building great games,."

Vice President of Partnerships at Ubisoft, Chris Early, added, "We entrust Epic to deliver a smooth journey for our fans, from pre-ordering the game and enjoying our Beta to the launch... Epic continues to disrupt the video game industry, and their third party digital distribution model is the latest example, and something Ubisoft wants to support."
